There was a solemn atmosphere within the Zhang clan, normally Alex would have been so besotted with how beautiful the place looked, how vibrant and how full of life it felt. This was the kind of place Alex would have happily called home, but tonight every member of the clan was gathered around an artificial lake, drinking. It didn't matter if you were an elder or a junior, everyone had come together in their grief.
This was not just some clan, this truly was a family, and Alex was sitting right in the midst of them all, he was introduced to cousins, or in this case second cousins since his uncle was incapable of having children, or something like that since he didn't really know the full story, never the less, it was time he debriefed his grandfather, and the few important elders of the clan.
